Depressant behavior of tragacanth gum and its role in the flotation separation of chalcopyrite from talc

Guar gum is an effective depressant of talc, but it also has some depression effect on sulfide minerals. To find new selective depressants, the depression effects and mechanisms of tragacanth gum to talc were studied and its role in the flotation separation of chalcopyrite from talc was investigated...
